"...90 percent of of legal cardholders use medicinal cannabis to treat pain but not for cancer and glaucoma"

On a related note, 89% of cardholders are faking being in chronic pain.

hmmm...another reason to hate police? Is it just me or does it seem like the police often work against the public it serves and not with it?

What exactly is "abuse" in this case? People that funnel money into the system to support a usually recreational habit that, without this program, only benefits a black market that helps no one? Apart from the stigma of marijuana, which is getting a little outdated, I've yet to hear a strong argument against this program. Are people as worried about cubicle workers that fake symptoms to keep their Xanax refills coming? Marijuana isn't anywhere near the most dangerous prescription drug that has a high percentage of users that don't "need" it. If it can generate $7 million dollars to help fund other health programs, I think it clearly outweighs any plausible "Reefer Madness" scenario.

And yes, I have a medical marijuana card and I don't really suffer from a lot of pain. I still smoke about the same amount but the only difference is that now a spend a few hundred dollars a year at a local business that employees people and pays taxes.

It,s not the OMMP`s fault there is a huge increase in administration demands, more and more people are signing up every day!!! Why dont people start filling out their own paperwork, stop supporting registry's that should be giving this information away for free, yet charge up to $180 to file the paperwork for you, so if you just fill out your paperwork yourself or find a doctor that will help you, which they should also offer for free since your their patient, you will actually be saving money... Oregon registry's were the first to step in to profit from the patient under the facade of compassion. Wake up!

I meant administration to DHS not OMMP.

People smoke for many different reasons, not just for fake pain. The card is popular but unnecessary.

...unless you're a drug dealer.

Please wait...
